Our first stop is the beautiful Abbotsbury Swannery, home to the world’s only managed colony of nesting mute swans. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Chesil Beach, you’ll have around an hour to wander the lagoons and see the swans up close in this truly unique setting.

We then continue to the enchanting Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, where you’ll enjoy approximately one hour to explore winding pathways, exotic plants, and peaceful hidden corners in this stunning 18th-century garden.

Next, we head to West Bay — instantly recognisable to fans of the hit ITV drama Broadchurch! This charming fishing village became famous as the filming location for the series, with its towering golden cliffs providing the dramatic backdrop to the story. Today, West Bay remains a traditional Dorset harbour, with colourful boats, seafood kiosks, and sweeping coastal views.
